SIBI-P1 H519-03
your bondwoman
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct (אָמַת) + 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ) = "your" addressed to a masculine singular. Occurs as a possessive form in direct address or self-reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָמָה denotes a female servant or slave. The form is feminine singular in construct with a 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix, meaning it refers to one specific female servant belonging to or speaking to a male: "your bondwoman." The term "bondwoman" preserves the sense of personal servitude inherent in the Hebrew. |
